Lost In Mistranslation

It's 2016 (cue balloons and confetti) and the guys set out to ring in the new year the only way they know how; by talking about the new anime season. Is it the kind of blowout bash most people have to farewell a calendar year? Probably not, but it does have a kind of grounded charm to it...kinda. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/snapcast-episode-46-a-slashy-kind-of-guy.mp3 -30-

With the festivities of the holidays taking over all five senses this fine December month, the guys decide to open presents and bask in the merriment of said act. Then they go completely off the rails and wind up discussing franchise slogans. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/snapcast-episode-45-see-you-burger.mp3 -30-

It's that time of year folks, that joyous period when friends and family sit down together and discuss the greatest, and not so, anime and games of the year that was. Who won you may ask? Well, if you truly wish to know, and don't mind spending an inordinate amount of time listening to three guys with questionable knowledge and authority on the matter say words, then listen on to what is technically an awards show. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/snapcast-episode-44-best-worst-awards-show.mp3 -30-

Yo-Kai Watch is officially out in the West which has left Frank and Luke over the metaphorical moon. Additionally, Yo-Kai Watch still isn't Pokemon and Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't turn based. What a week to be alive. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/snapcast-episode-43-yo-kai-did-fault.mp3 -30-

Don't let the title fool you, the guys really provide no answers on anything this week, though that's not too much of a surprise. Instead they list off Pokemon they like and ponder the future of Nintendo. Also Frank is tired and maybe sick, we just don't know...or honestly care that much. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/snapcast-episode-42-the-meaning-of-live.mp3 -30-

After a rather unguided beginning, the guys eventually settle on discussing their favourite villains and the effect over-saturation has on personal opinion. Also maybe Luke tries to sing...sorry. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/snapcast-episode-41-absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder.mp3 -30-

Riding high on the spontaneous decision to record a live episode, the guys storm out of the gate irate about Yo-Kai Watch being compared to Pokemon. Later, they discuss Pokemon and how cool it is. It's a fun time, a little bit sad as well, but mostly fun. Promise. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/snapcast-episode-40-pocket-watch-monsters.mp3 -30-

The guys get a touch inspired and delve into the intricacies of language and the similarities/differences between dialects. Poetry is also read aloud, you have been warned, and you are welcome. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/snapcast-episode-39-by-any-other-name1.mp3 -30-

From serious social issues to the prevalence of fan-fiction as told through the lens of South Park. This is an interesting episode. Also RPGs come up, as do the various way people play them... whether or not they are how people want to play them is up for debate. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/snapcast-episode-38-strategy-guidance.mp3 -30-

That's right loyal listeners, the ravings of madmen have crossed time and (maybe space). That's right, we're talking live! Of course, if you're reading this then this is just a recording...but you can still enjoy it anyway. Hooray technology! https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/snapcast-episode-37-i-am-just-feeling-live.mp3 -30-

Ask and thou shalt receive. That's right party people, strap yourselves in for another ride around the fictional universe as we see who's marriage material and who...isn't. Also Captain Planet nets a prolonged shout out, which is weird. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/snapcast-episode-36-snuggle-and-tuggle.mp3

Warning: May contain fictional proposals, trysts and murder plots...also conspiracy theories and Attack on Titan spoilers. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/snapcast-episode-35-snapdirty.mp3 -30-

It's finally happened, the long fabled "around about an hour" podcast has arrived. Go to your local store, purchase handfuls of confetti and throw them with glee. Then listen to the episode. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/snapcast-episode-34-downloadable-conflict.mp3 -30-

Well it certainly can't be said that this podcast doesn't run the gamut. We've got mispronunciations of manga titles, catchy translations of happy go lucky theme songs, and an extensive discussion as to the position of people within the metacontextual cosmos that is social ethics. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/snapcast-episode-33-opinion-peace.mp3 -30-

Just when you though you couldn't get enough, a shocking revelation is made; the podcast is henceforth a weekly endeavour. Isn't that great? Please say yes... This new schedule will have an effect on the length of the podcast, vis a vis shortening it by a half hour or so...but not this week. Things were looking to be on schedule, then the Metal Gear timeline came up... https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/snapcast-episode-32-snake-boss.mp3 -30-

In this episode, Kane, Frank and Luke let the vitriol shine through as they discuss Japanese cinema's latest foray into the world of live action anime adaptations. Your voices have also been heard, as Luke returns to expository form in the sequel to the hit podcast segment: Luke's Story Time. This time around, hear the story of a samurai named Kenshin, through the words of some guy not named Kenshin. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/snapcast-episode-31-attack-on-attack-on-titan.mp3 -30-

In this episode, Kane, Frank and Luke discuss turning anime into live action extravaganzas. Also Bleach leaks into the conversational mix...because it always finds a way. Always. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/snapcast-episode-30-thats-good-praise.mp3 -30-

In this episode, Kane, Frank, Luke and Crystal (kinda) discuss the SMASH! that was. That being said, conversation takes a turn down Cosplay Discussion Boulevard and doesn't turn off until well towards the end. So sit back, relax and let words paint a picture in your mind. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/snapcast-episode-29-cosplayer-select.mp3 -30-

In this episode, Kane, Frank, Luke and another ponder the great mysteries of the universe. More specifically, listen to the story of how the scientifically grounded and completely reasonable Luke Halliday "froke" out about the 100% real appearance of aliens. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/snapcast-episode-28-5-jupiter-in-motion.mp3

In this episode, Kane, Frank, Luke and a mysterious new person discuss anime that hit hard. Seriously though, some anime just stick with you...whether you want them to or not. Also everybody chimes in about other series, like Psycho Pass 2 and Evangelion. Don't worry, it's all completely professional...kinda. https://snapthirty.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/snapcast-episode-28-horror-stories.mp3 -30-
